N7 - Lost Operative part 2

The next thing you're going to want to do is use the computer terminal ahead to figure out just what's going on around here. You have very limited intel about the situation here. All you know is that a Cerberus operative has been captured on this planet, and is being held by this group called Eclipse. He has sensitive information and data, and it must be retained by Cerberus at all costs. By examining the computer terminal, you'll learn more about the captured agent, a human male named Agent Rawlings. By all accounts (via the computer), you'll learn that any information retained by Agent Rawlings hasn't been divulged. Unfortunately, Agent Rawlings has since been killed by this group, though the encrypted data he had on him is still in their hands. Making matters worse, they're attempting to crack it. Seems our job here isn't done. Be sure to hack the computer next to the security terminal to garner some credits before continuing.

As soon as you back out of the computer terminal's interface, you're going to be attacked from enemies on your left (if your back is facing the way you initially entered this base). These guys are a bit tougher than the enemies you initially dealt with -- some of them have two barrier shields before you get to whittle down their health. Thankfully, there's plenty of cover for you to work with here, so you shouldn't have any complications in felling this final enemy force. Once the last enemy in that more robust wave of thugs has fallen, there will be no more enemies around here to deal with. You're in the clear.

Regardless of the lack of foes, you'll still need to focus on finding some more items before heading out on your way. The corridor leading down towards a locked door is where we ultimately need to go, but for the time being, ignore it. First, go back to the computer terminal, and explore the adjacent room. This is where the first wave of enemies poured out of. You should be able to find a medical kit here, as well as a safe that, once hacked, will surrender thousands of credits. Then, backtrack towards where the last wave of enemies came from, and seek out an outdoor corridor that leads to a dead end. If you traverse this brief catwalk to the dead end, you'll find another stash of precious metals tucked against the far wall, in between a wall and a pipe.

Once you've done all of that, head to the locked door down a straight, outdoor passageway. Hack the door (which you should easily be able to do), and you'll be granted access to the small room on the other side. This is the room where Agent Rawlings was brutally and mercilessly interrogated (to no avail, mind you). You can see the agent's body on a table to your right. On your left, you'll find this crew's computer terminal. Examine it to find the heavily-encrypted data Agent Rawlings had on him. You'll be given the option to send it to the Alliance (for Paragon points), send it to Cerberus (a neutral decision), or keep the data for yourself (for Renegade points). Whatever decision you make is up to you, but once you've made said decision, the side quest will end in success, and you'll be automatically transported back to the Normandy.
